I’m thankful Jesus found me.
Out in the darkness of sin.
A faithful shepherd is he
To bring me home again.
It was easy to wander
In seeking greener pasture.
Choosing my own life
Only led me to disaster.
The things that are eternal
We’re not in my grasp.
When I faced the impossible
No hand could I grasp.
It was then I looked to Jesus.
I found he was nearby.
I repented of my pride.
“Have mercy Lord,” I cried.
He put his hands upon me.
He carried me safely home.
Now I abide close to him.
No more I choose to roam.
Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man receives sinners and eats with them.” So He spoke this parable to them, saying:
“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.”
Luke 15:1-7 NKJV
